I am in no way knocking anyone who is using these drugs, seriously if I could use them I would. However Im throwing this up here because these drugs have only been tested and deemed safe on a small study - those who's BMI is above 30.

Surely the food industry is a fault too? We are surround by fast food, takeaways, deliveroo et al, aisles and aisles of convenience food in supermarkets. There are ready meals galore to choose from, if you wanted you would have to prepare anything from scratch.people. And before anyone pipes up with a holier than thou I make all my food from scratch you don’t!

The food industry is almost wholly responsible IMO.

Most helpful post on here. Can you point to any info that says it can inflame the pancreas? I thought gall stones were a risk only from the weight loss not the drug itself

That’s why I said no time soon and not these drugs but some kind of iteration.

I think it would have to evolve from an injection to get the reach that it should.

I wasn’t offering it as a debating topic.

I don’t know if this has already been mentioned but there’s a report in the Times that 16 people have been treated in hospital with side effects and 12 of them are in the same Scottish health board area as Susan McGowan (the deceased). I wonder if the supply chain has been looked at.

that’s interesting, and where she bought it. If it was somewhere reputable. When I discussed going on it with my doctor she warned me to buy it from a reputable source, as so many suppliers popping up and they are worried about what some people are injecting themselves with.

@ViolaPlains Ah, now that could be credible. We’ll have to see what is revealed.

Yep, totally agree with this. Why aren’t they being told to not fill food with so much rubbish, especially ready meals?

It’s similar to the solution for all the plastic and cardboard problem is to bring in recycling, rather than stopping the companies using so much of it. It’s not rocket science is it…

Agree the main issue is the food industry. But I think that horse has bolted. Much like climate change.

Thanks for clarifying @ViolaPlains

Can you link the article at all? I can’t find it

This is the article.

Just google? It comes up right away.

I’ve done a share token link so you shouldn’t need to register etc.

Thanks.

I did Google 🙄

Thank you

Not the full article, but some snippets as it’s behind a pay wall.

This.

I’m not sure I agree, many of us can talk to our doctors, I did, before starting this, I understand getting an appt can be difficult though, and that just goes to prove you can’t deprive people of life saving medicine due to the fact it would take so so many gp resources to manage the demand,

Totally agree.

12 cases in the same area is a point of interest. But it seems a bit confused. It says 16 cases of people hospitalised, 12 in that area. So is the 16 UK wide? As 16 doesn’t seem that many compared to other claims of people being admitted in droves to A&E

Or is it 16 in Scotland or UK wide, with gall bladder or pancreas issues? And 12 with, specifically, gall bladder/ pancreas issues in that health area. Or is it 16 and 12 all admitted with different issues.

Also, it seems these 12 are spread over several months. I don’t think the fact that 12 in one health area over several months will point to a supply chain issues or batch issue. Unless all have had it subscribed by the same provider. But I would have expected far more cases, if it was that provider and wide spread. I don’t think there’s many providers that only supply to their immediate area. So if it was a supply chain or batch issue, the health area wouldn’t be that much of a focus.

I would have also expected an announcement of a batch number telling people not to use that batch, if they traced 12 people being ill and one dead to one batch or one provider.

It’s all a bit vague. I did see part of an interview on This morning that suggested she had gall stones, but wasn’t clear whether she knew this before she started taking MJ.

Also she was severely dehydrated when she got to hospital. The doctor on the segment on This Morning, was talking about how important it is to keep hydrated when taking these medications. And it’s odd that the press has gone quite on this since the interview with her nieces and the doctor.

I haven’t seen all of it, though, and will look tonight.
